It took me years to be able to admit this fact, and took me even
longer to begin to understand what it meant. But before I get to
that, I should cover the political bases, so to speak:

There are many arguments for and against spanking, and both
sides are very adamant that they are right even though there has
been no conclusive proof that compares the effects of spanking
to the long-term effects of other forms of discipline. This site
is not here to answer or add to those debates. Our purpose is to
try and explain a different point of view, and provide a
resource for others who understand the title of this site.

The basic flaw in every spanking argument (for and against) is
that the opinions assume that we are all the same, and will
react the same as everyone else. Life tells us that this just
isn't true. Time-outs work perfectly for many parents, adding
chores or losing privileges helps a lot of kids to behave
better... but not all. Some need to be spanked. I'm not talking
about when you see a kid throwing a tantrum in a store and think
to yourself "That kid needs a good spanking!" No, I am talking
about kids, teens and even adults who require corporal
punishment, and they know it. That is who this site is for:
People who need to be spanked, and those who care about their
emotional health.

This site is not about the
discipline of young children, and arguments about parental
beliefs are not welcome here. Cooperative and Domestic
Discipline are about consenting adults who understand their
needs, and the needs of their mates.

Spanking Needs is an Adults-Only
Site

Though we do not host or allow
pornographic content and are not a fetish or kink site, we have
chosen to restrict this site to adults to allow for more open
discussions; and for the protection of minors since we do
provide contacts to adults who provide corporal punishment
therapy services. If you are a teenager seeking advice on asking
a parent for a spanking, please reach
THIS ARTICLE. If you are a
parent that has been asked to spank a child,
THIS is the article
for you. We provide these articles for your consideration only,
and they are not intended as parental or medical/psychological
advice.
